you'll find someone
but none like me
you'll try to find my love
and you'll look into his eyes
and only remember the way
I looked at you
with so much more than 'love'
with passion, desire & pride
you'll feel his heart beat in his chest
and maybe you'll feel safe
but you won't feel home
you'll long for the way
I kissed you
and how I never bored you
of life
and
of us
every time he calls your name
you'll hear my voice in the background
but you won't see me

you'll find men
ready to undress you
but how many will
put clothes back on your body
when they are done

you'll find men
who want to touch your skin
for their pleasure
but none will ever
want your soul

you'll find someone to love you
but honey
no one
NO ONE
N O  O N E
can love you half the way I did

you'll hear his heart beat
but you won't hear the two syllables
of your name engraved
in the rhythm of those beats
the way my heart's purpose
was to love you with
every breath of life

you'll put your head on his chest
but you won't hear your name
and darling
that's when you'll realize
what you've lost
